Another matchday in the Spanish second tier, another moment for Yeremay Hernández to shine. The young Deportivo La Coruña winger scored the goal. It pulled his team level against Almería. They earned a 1-1 draw on Saturday. It was the eighth game of the season. Yeremay, at just 22, showed exactly why many eyes are watching him.
One of those keen observers is Sporting Clube de Portugal. Talk of their interest in Yeremay has been rumbling for a while. Back in the summer, he even appeared on newspaper covers in Portugal. After his crucial goal, reporters were quick to ask him directly about the Lisbon giants.
But Yeremay is a sharp cookie. He’s learned to navigate these waters. Instead of getting drawn into the speculation, he kept his cards close. He pointed towards his agent and, crucially, his current club, Depor. It was a classic deflection, handled with a quiet grace.
“That’s my agent’s business with the club,” Yeremay explained in the mixed zone. “I’ve always said I’ll move at Depor’s pace. I handled those moments calmly. This past year brought many emotions, perhaps too many. But I took everything calmly, because I have an agent working with me. I leave everything in his hands and Depor’s.”
His words paint a clear picture. He trusts his team and his representative. They handle the background noise. It’s a familiar script in football. A talented player performs well. Bigger clubs notice. The media asks questions. The player gives a respectful, non-committal answer. He places responsibility on those who manage his career. Yeremay’s calm response shows maturity beyond his years. He focuses on the pitch while off-field talks simmer.
